I'm 6 weeks out and had a celebratory toast with my fiancé for something last night. I had a glass of White Zinfandel. Tasted great and went down so smoothly! I drank 2 cups of Water to make up for the glass of alcohol though (be careful because alcohol dehydrates you!!)... White Zinfandel has a low sugar and calorie count so you should be safe. Outside of wine, I was just going to ask for vodka and Water with a lemon and line for flavor. I want with wine instead! Lol

Why do you associate celebrating with drinking (and food). We did an incredible thing for US. Now continue and don't put poison in your body. Celebrate with healthy things!! Congrats on a tough job well done!!

I don't see anything wrong with having a drink or two once in awhile. I like a top shelf vodka on ice with a lime. I've also had a glass of wine here and there. I always drink lots of Water. Have fun. I would avoid mixers... They can be loaded with sugars.

From LowCarbsRUs i ordered sugar free PinaColada, Sugarfree SweetNSour, SugarFree MaiTai. add your booze - i am diabetic.

Also CrystalLight and GreatValue(walmart) have some drinks that work great - Lime GV with vodka is good.

I sound like i drink a lot but its maybe once or twice a month. Presurgery.

I was told no alcohol for a year. Our livers are working overtime to clear toxins that are released with quick weight loss. Alcohol on top of that can cause liver failure. So I was told by my team...

I would caution you to talk to your doctor first. If your doctor has no problem with it, then by all means, Celebrate. If they say no, listen. They have reasons for the restrictions they give. Personally, I think it's not worth the risk...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
